Modern life can be exhilarating—but living at a fast pace also brings worries, stress, tension, anxiety, and even mental exhaustion. In today’s chaotic world, many people are looking for a sense of peace and good health. Dr. Yang Jingduan, a well-known Chinese psychiatrist in Philadelphia, launched a series of lectures titled “The Three Tiers of Doctors Forum” to share his insights into spiritual and physical health. The following is a general transcription of his talk:

The liver is one of the largest organs in the human body, undertaking a substantial role as the largest digestive gland and metabolic organ. According to modern medicine, the liver serves as a site for protein synthesis, storing various essential nutrients derived from food, such as vitamin B12, folic acid, and other essential substances. Blood, fatty acids like triglycerides, cholesterol, and other carriers all originate from the liver. Additionally, the liver plays a crucial role in detoxification, processing, and detoxifying various substances we ingest into the body.
